There was no shortage of Paramount (formerly known as Viacom CBS) support for Spirit Day! From RuPaul’s Drag Race to the FBI franchise to the final frontier of the Star Trek universe, the celebs came out in droves to show their love and support for the LGBTQ youth.
Spirit Day kicked off in New York where the famous Empire State Building was illuminated in the signature purple during a ceremonial lighting hosted by RuPaul’s Drag Race legend Jujubee.
